Brisbane Olympics 2032: What are the dates?

The Brisbane Olympics dates are 23 July to 8 August 2032. The Brisbane Paralympics dates are 24 August to 5 September 2032.

The 2032 Olympics will be held in Brisbane, Queensland. This will follow the 2024 Olympics in Paris and 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

This will be the third time the Olympic Games will have been held in Australia. In 1956, Melbourne played host. Then, in 2000, Sydney was the focus of the sporting world. If you’re in Sydney, you can take a tour of the Sydney Olympic stadium.

The Brisbane Olympics in 2032 will be the Summer Olympics, but they will be held in the Australian winter. The Brisbane winter isn’t exactly chilly, but the competitors aren’t going to be roasting in fiery summer heat as they would be in Tokyo, Paris or Los Angeles.
